ABSTRACT

PSpice recognizes passive elements by their symbols and models. The elements can be resistors, inductors, capacitors, or switches; they can also be magnetic. The models are necessary to take into account parameter variations (e.g., the value of a resistance depends on the operating temperature). The simulation of passive elements in PSpice requires that the following be specified: , Modeling of elements, Operating temperature RLC elements, Magnetic elements and transformers, and Lossless transmission lines and Switches. A model that specifies a set of parameters for an element is specified in PSpice by the.MODEL command. The same model can be used for one or more elements in the same circuit.
